We have all heard how tough it is to find work at the moment, but one guy decided to set himself a task after 40 interview rejections. Daniel Seddiqui has set about getting 50 jobs across 50 states over the course of 50 weeks. {ad}

So far he has managed 20 states, sometimes working for just room and board, but he is well on his way to achieving his goal of 50 jobs. He admits in the video above that it’s not easy and the jobs are certainly varied. So far he has been a cartographer, medical device manufacturer, rodeo announcer, and hydrologist. Daniel is attempting to not only get a job, but also ones that match up with the culture of the state he is in.

He believes the rejections he has had are well into the thousands, but so far he hasn’t failed to get employment in each state he has visited. At the end of his 50 weeks a book is expected from him about the ordeal; and possibly that will be his reward. But at least while he is doing this it shows that work is out there if you are willing to diversify.
